How soon did you get your period postpartum?

Hi ladies,
I am just over 6 weeks postpartum, and just got my period. It seems so unfair considering the postpartum bleeding just stopped. Anyone else get their periods this soon after and was it like a normal period? Just wondering what to expect now.

Re: How soon did you get your period postpartum?
I just got mine this week -- 6 weeks PP. It is a nightmare. I was actually going to come and post to discuss.
It's so heavy. Bright red and tons of clotting. I'm going on day 3 and hoping it doesn't last terribly long. I rarely got my period when I was on BC and when I did, it was basically spotting so I am not familiar with heavy periods.
... are we free to use tampons now? I didn't ask at my appt on Tuesday because this just wasn't on my mind.

After my first son, my first PP period was insane. I'm talking 10 straight days of very heavy period. It ended and then 10 days later I got my period again. I was so worried because I thought it had to be dangerous but towards out it takes some time for your body to adjust back.
It does get normal again!
Just got it at 8 weeks.... it is light this time also
With my 1st it was 12 weeks and light
I had a fluke at 4 1/2 weeks PP. (I had been done bleeding by then) My OB said that it most likely would not happen again, especially since I am breastfeeding. So, maybe your period is the same idea?
Mine was like a normal period.
